Primers used for amplification of direct PCR for algC and RT-PCR of internal regions of algC are listed in Table 1.
To confirm the transcription of algC, two internal regions of algC cDNA (1360 bp and 463 bp) were amplified using upstream primer 363F and CD1701R and internal nested primers 1260 nest1F and CD1701R, respectively (Table 1).
To compare gene expression pattern of algC in biofilm versus planktonic A.
Relative Quantification of algC Expression Pattern by Real-Time PCR.
Statistical Correlation of Biofilm Formation with algC Gene Expression.
Amplified algC was purified using gel purification kit (Bangalore GeNei, India) and ligated into pGEMT-Easy vector (Promega, USA) to produce resultant recombinant plasmid pGEalgCA7.
For quantitative biofilm augmentation in the algC clones, biofilms were formed in microtitre plates and quantified as per methods described earlier [10].
baumannii AIIMS 7 algC gene sequence is JF701279 and AEC46864 for the protein (PMM/PGM) sequence.
